It is too much the fashion among a certain class of persons, when any complaint is made regarding the treatment of the poor, to say that exaggera• tion is employed, and ex parte statements put for• ward ; but there has just occurred a case which can not be contradicted, and speaks strongly in con demnation of the means used. An inquest was held yesterday at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the body of TIMOTHY DALY. This poor un fortunate man expired after his admission into that place. The cause of his death was exhaustion con sequent upon bed sores which he had contracted while in the Holborn Infirmary. It was several times declared by the deceased that he had not re ceived proper treatment and attention while in the Union. Of course, it will be said by many that he might have been ignorant, or at all events not stated the exact truth ; but there were other and incontestable witnesses to be heard in this sad case. Both the doctors of the Hospital and the Farringdon Dispensary concurred in the opinion that want of care and attention had been the cause of the poor man's falling into the deplorable con• dition. The evidence of his wife and a friend who went to visit him proved that he had come plained of want of attention. The statements of the medical man could not have been stronger and more emphatic. It is impossible to gloss over or palliate the case ; its enormity is ap parent, and due attention should be paid to it by the Poor Law Board. Dr J. ANDREWS, the assis tant physician at the hospital, stated that with " proper care and attention tl.e deceased ought not to have got into such a condition." Dr THOIdPSON LONE, the resident medical officer of the Ferring don Dispensary, stated that in " rheumatic fever a man could be kept in bed twelve years without a bed sore." When he added that he had 2,000 cases a year without this affliction occurring, it was sug• gested that he sent his bad cases to the hospital, on which he observed, "I thank God I never had such a case in my life." In defence or explanation very little to the purpose was said or brought forward. It was admitted that the bed was not more than six feet in length, which was certainly insuffieent for deceased's height. Ilis friend who came to see him observed that he used to lie with his knees bent up. It might have been through mistake, ignorance, or any other cauae, that the said treatment occurred, but it is evident that TimoTHY DA LY, through want of proper care, sufftred considerable addition to hi s inevitable pain, and that he was not properly attended to while iu the infirmary. The verdict of the j ary set forth that he did not receive sufficient care and attention from the medical nicer while in the Holborn Union. If may be suggested that this circumstance is a ease in paint in favour of the employment of trained nurses in the infirmaries of Unions, It is not at all likely that a regular assistant who knew her duties would have allowed a patient to fall into such a deplorable condition, and iodependently of the medical officer at all much might hive been dude to improve the condition of this moo. It is certain that thu latter ilss not discharged his do►y ib a proper meaner, but he does not seem to have received much encourage. ment from those around him, and it is not too mach to say that this case of TIMOTHY DALY reflects the greatest discredit upon all who had to do with him while in the infirmary. Those who had not the authority to assist him ought to have appealed to those who had, and they failing in their duty, to have reported them. The public have nothing to do with the red-tapeism of such establishments. They care not who is pleased or displeased, but they do expect that the sick and suffering should receive due care and proper treatment. The Coroner stated that the matter still remained open for the investigation of the Poor-law Board, and it is certain that it is their bounden duty to do so. Such a flagrant case of in attention has not been made known for years, and it is not so much the question whether the neglect was the immediate cause of death or not, as whether it occurred. Of course, in many diseases, want of care will accelerate the evil until it may appear that the deceased persons died from natural causes; but it is too bad that gross neglect should be tolerated whether or not fatal consequences ensue. Nothing less than a thorough investigation of the whole matter should satisfy the Poor-.law Board, and they must be very partial and prejudiced if they do not find something to remedy for the future in such cases. There must be something very faulty at the root of the management of these Infirmaries if such a case as this exicites no par• ticular interest, nor engages any special attention by the lookers-on. With them it may be only a nine days' wonder, but in the sight of those who reflect upon the grave responsibilities it is far other wise. There must have been great mismanagement for the sick man to keep on complaining of want of attention, as it is proved that he did. It is too much be feared that DALY has been a victim to a system of neglect which is but to) prevalent in Union infirmaries, and that peculiar circumstances have brought his case more prominently forward, and thus exposed what else would have been known to few, or perhaps altogether buried in oblivion. When any wrong, public) or private, is brought to light, those who are mixed up in the affair imme diately under notice are very apt to receive all the blame, which should by rights be attached to others, and at all events divided among those who have similarly conducted themselves. Not for the sake of one man who has evidently suffered from neglect —not for the improving of one Union infirmary but in the name of all the sick and suffering hearts who have no other refuge in their time of trouble it is the duty of those appointed by law to inquire into this matter. Let them take up the matter in a fair spirit, and for once let the general interests of the community actuate them, and not be biassed by their own particular views and efforts to carry out their special theories. It must not be said that indifference has been exhibited to a cause which so deeply concerns those who are not able to help themselves, but who have thus additional claims upon the authorities of their country. The development of a national taste for art is no insignificant or unworthy undertaking. For very many years it was the fashion to decry the taste of everything British, and to declare in round terms that while manufacturing skill was un doubtedly our position, in every department of the arts we were totally and hopelessly deficient. In architecture, painting, and designs of every kind' and in every ornamental undertaking we were outer Barbarians, while in music it was long en openly avowed conviction that the English were ,‘ not a musical people." The experience of the last twenty or thirty years has completely altered this aspect of affairs. JULLIEN effected a good deal in the way of developing the popular taste for good music, and since his time the reception which solid classical works of the great masters have received in our music-halls has proved that the English public were not only able to find gratification in a merry tune or popular air, but to take pleasure in the performance of oratorios, symphonies, quar tetts, and overtures. It is not easy, indeed, to see how the prejudice should have arisen when BEET, HOVEN himself experienced the kindness of English. men, when HANDEL was for many years a resident in this country, and a leader of its musical world, and when MENDELSSOUN found his great works were no where so cordially welcomed. His immortal " Elijah " was first made public among us, and the greeting it received was all that the composer could desire. So that long before good music had become as popular as it now is among the masses there were not wanting Englishmen and women who were bold enough to have a taste of their own. The Saxon race has always been famous f or its love of song and melody. Even King ALFRED, according to an old tradition, was an able performer on the harp, and no better mode could be devised to lighten the some what severe gravity of our nation than the en couragement of the most fascinating and delightful of the arts. But the cultivation of a taste for de. sign has been long neglected among us, and as such a taste exercises a considerable influence on the value and beauty of our manufactures, it is impore tent in a commercial as well as in an artistic sense. The establishment of Schools of Design has no doubt had good effect, for the improvement which has taken place in the style of our productions during the last 10 or 15 years is most noticeable. Formerly when an artisan, or any one of a humbler class, exhibited a taste or talent for design he had no opportunity whatever of cultivating or improv ing his abilities, and it is a common mistake that talent of any kind does not require study and ap. plication for its development. We know that the great masters of old were most assiduous students, that they spent long years of their ambi tious youth in close application in the studios of men who were often far in. ferior to themselves. Yet even if a working man felt this conviction, where was he to find the leisure, how to obtain the materials, and how to pay for suitable instruction ? All these queries are satisfactorily answered by the Schools of Art, and in consequence we find large numbers of the working classes so far advanced in their skill and ingenuity in handicraft, and still more in their artistic taste, as to be able to set up exhibitions of their own. Some of the paintings shown in the recent North London Exhibition might for their merit have found admittance into more exclusive show-rooms, and as the system is as yet young in years, we may reasonably hope for still further progress. It is, therefore, with very great satisfaction that we see its benefits extending to the sister island. No one ever doubted the genius or quick wit of Irish men and women, but in art, as in other walks of life, they have Badly needed the opportunity of bringing their gifts to fruition. The ennobling and refining influences of art need no comment, and the beneficial effects of a cultivation of the gentler studies world tend to raise and civi lize the people. As yet the fair ladies of the sister isle seem to be the most assiduous votaries of art, for at the recent distribution of prizes to the suc cessful students of the Royal Dublin Society, Lord WooEisousE could not help commenting on the marked dispa r ity i n th e num b er of the ladies and the gentlemen. We do not see why this Should be', Since there • ra certainly nothing to be aehAmed of in a love for art, or in the study THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, 1864: of it in any of its branches. Lord WODEHOUSE remarked, after complimenting the students, that he wished that manufacturers and artisans would patronise these schools a little more, and we hope that his hint will be taken. Our large manufac turers have immense power in influencing the taste of the country, and if they will make it a decide• ratum to employ really clever and tasteful de. signers, the result will soon be apparent. At pre. sent there is rather a hiatus between the study of art and the successful application of that know• ledge. The young student is praised for his talent, but when he wishes to get his living by it, he does not very well know how to begin. We think it would be well if the Schools of Deign were to take up this part of the -question, or if some gentlemen connected with it would interest themselves in directing the Efforts of the young beginner. Practical courses of in struction are necessary for most trades, and these should be given for reasonable terms. It is of no use for the student to gain a medal if he has spent valuable time in acquiring an art he can not turn to profitable account. It is this practical element which is wanted in our art studies, and if we could infuse it into them we should be conferring a great benefit not only on the students themselves bat on the condition of our art manufactures generally. The Proposed New Railways for 1865. Mr E. Stanford, of Charing-cross, has just published a new map of the proposed railways and miscellaneous im provements for the approaching session of 1865, and also the sanctioned lines and railways in operation within Lon don and 10 miles around, accompanied by a list of the plans, numbered to correspond with the map, and with the Private Bill-office list. The map, like every chart that issues from Mr Stanford's establishment, is engraved in the clearest manner, and the proposed new rail roads are most distinctly indicated by rel lines, so that on reference any particular scheme is instantly discoverable, There is also an enlargement of the proposed railways in the eastern part of the meiropolis, and from the number of thin red lines passing through it in every direction, it seems to have been particularly favoured by those who desire still further to increase the railway accommodation of the metro polis. The northern portion of London has also received the kind attention of railway projeetors, and in the south the village of Peckham seems likely, if the numerous new proposals should receive the sanction of Parliament, to be entirely annihilated. The new chart will be found of the greatest use to the thousands of persons interested in rail way matters, and also to the public generally. Bacons New Map of the British Isles, This new railway and commercial map of the British Isles and part of France is by far the best that has yet come under our observation, It is beautifully coloured and mounted, so that it is quite an ornament either to the library or office. The engraving is skilfully executed, and the production of so perfect a reap reflects the highest credi upon the Messrs, Bacon. The Crystal Palace, An interesting addition to the thousand attrac tions of the Crystal Palace has just been made, In response to an application to the Lords Commis• sioners of the Admiralty. they have kindly granted permission to the directors to have for exhibition in the Palace two of the armour plates which have been submitted to experimental firing by the heaviest ordnance. The view these massive plates of iron present, perforated and shattered to pieces as they are by the heavy projectiles hurried against them, is most remarkable, and will serve to give the general public some idea of the power of the monster guns and shot which have lately excited so much attention, Accompanying these armour plates are several varieties of steel and iron shot, from those weighing 500.bs to the ordinary 68 pounders; also a piece of a 13i-inch armour plate, the thickest ever rolled, the entire plate having been 17 feet long and 6 feet 10 inches broad, and weighing 28 tons. These have been kindly furnished from the Atlas Steel and Ironworks, Sheffield, forming altogether one of the most interesting exhibitions of the power likely to be expended offensively and defensively in any future naval warfare. The Cambridge Music Hall. This newly-established music hall has, under the courteous and efficient management of Mr C. Gre ville, met with a continuous and unqualified success since the opening night—so much so indeed that Mr G. W. Nugent (the proprietor) has in his enter prise spared neither pains nor expense in placing before his supporters a Christmas bill of fare that will bear comparison with any of its kind in London. The features are very numerous, and the corps operatique boasts of a prima donna (Miss El• lison) whose rendering of the Casta Diva in the selection from " Norma" stamps her equal (if not superior) to any music hall singer ever introduced in London; and again in Signor Mordini they have a tenor of no ordinary ability ; while in Miss Jenny Stanley and Miss Riseani they find excellent supporters as well as very pleasing ballad singers. These then, in addition to theTransformationDancer (Mr Charles Burton); Bernand Sloman, an extraor dinary imitator of birds ; West, the stump orator ; Mr J. G. Forde, the well known patter singer; Nelly Power, a clever little serio-comic singer, about 12 years of age; and the Brothers Cavallini, Italian clowns and gymnasts, who were specially and exclusively engaged in Paris by Mr Greville, and whose debut on Monday night was of the most flattering description ; Annie Adams, the serio comic singer ; the comic Fred. French and George Lsybourne, who has greatly improved since his last appearance in London—make up a programme that affords an excellent evening's entertainment to the hundreds who assemble within the walls of this really elegant hall—which (both last night and the night before) would have been literally crowded to suffocation but for the commendable conduct of the management; who as soon as the seats were fairly filled, refused to admit any more persons. The performances commence with the Soldiers' Chorus from " Trovatore," which is admirably rendered, and in the course of the evening a selec tion from "Norma" is played, in which (as already stated) Miss Ellison elicits the enthusiasm of the entire house, and a chorus from " Masaniello" closes the performances. ENGLISH GYMNOSOPHISTS.—It is in such titles as these, and in some parts of the artist's conduct, that the indications of insanity are recognised. For con duct, what should we say of the man who would take his little back garden in this grimy metropolis for the Garden of Eden, and, to the horror of all his neighbours, might be seen in the costume of our first parents sauntering about it, his wife bearing him company ? Mr Butts called one day upon Blake, and found him with his wife in the summer house, all innocent of clothing. " Come in," cried Blake, " it's only Adam and Eve, you know." Husband and wife had been reciting passages from " Paradise Lost," and to enter more fully into the spirit of the poet's verse, they had dressed, or rather undressed, for their parts. Blake had a great opinion of the gymnosophists, and would insist on the virtues of nakedness. Nur was ho alone in his views. He got his wife to accept them undoubtingly ; and we are told of a family in the upper ranks of society, contemporary,with Blake, though unknown to him, who had embraced the theory of " philosophical nakedness." Believing in the speedy coming or a golden ego similar to the pristine state otjinnocenceAthe elders in this Lindy taught the children to run rot kied about the house for a few hours every day, and in this condition the little innocents would run and open the door to Shelley, Their mother followed the same prac tice more privately, locking herself in her room ; but she declared to her friends that the habit of going about every day for a time in a state of nudity did her much moral good. " She felt the better for it—so innocent during the rest of the day."--illacmillan's Magazine. HISTORICAL DISCOVERY.— The Debuts publishes a letter from M. Feuillet de Conches, editor of the corre. spondonce of Queen Marie Antoinette, in which the writer states that a discovery has recently been made in the pri vate library of :he Emperor of Austria of a series of letters between Maria Theresa and her daughter Maria Antoinette, from the marriage of the latter to the death of the Empress. There are 94 letters. of which 30 of the original have been found, but the copies of the others are being fully authenticated. The letter adds that M. Arneth, member et the States of Austria and Deputy Conservator of the Impe rial is about to publish thciss letters: LATEST INTELLIGENCE. [REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE HANSA. (Via Southampton.) NEW YORK, DEC. 17 (Morning). Admiral Dahlgren reports from Port Royal on the 12th the arrival of three scouts, bearing de spatches from General Howard. These announce that Sherman had been perfectly successful thus far. His army was in floe spirits near Savannah. The Richmond papers of yesterday state that Sherman carried Fort M'Allister by storm on Wed nesday. This capture put Sherman in cJmmurrica. tion with the Federal fleet, and necessitates the reinforcement of Savannah. Fort Ill`Allister is on the Ozeechee River, 15 miles from south-west of Savannah. It was garrisoned by 150 men. A steamer from Charleston Bar, on the 14th inst., brings a report that news had reached there by a flag of truce, that Sherman had captured Savannah and 11,000 prisoners, after eight hours' fighting. Savannah papers report that Foster advanced on the sth towards Coosawatchie, and burned the Tillafinney bridge, but was twice driven back by the Confederates. General Hardee commanded at Savannah. Gen. Beauregard had arrived at Charleston. General Kilpatrick was reported mortally wounded. A naval and military expedition under Generals Porter and Butler left Fort Monroe on Monday for the Southern coast. Thomas reports from Nashville that on Thursday he attacked Hood's left, and drove it from the river below the city, nearly to Franklin Pike, capturing Chalmers's headquarters and trains, 1,000 prisoners, and 16 guns. Thomas would again attack Hood yesterday, or pursue him, throwing a heavy cavalry force in his rear. Unefficial despatches, dated yesterday, announce that Hood was retreating and endeavouring to get away, while Thomas was pressing him vigorously, capturing guns and men. In consequence of the discharge of the St. Albans raiders, and preparations in Canada for the renewal of similar enterprises, the military commanders on the frontier are directed by Gen. Dix, in case of further acts of depredation, to shoot down the per petrators if possible, and if necessary for their cap ture to cross the Canadian boundaries, and pursue them wherever they take refuge, and not to sur. render them if captured, but send them on to head quarters for trial by court martial. Attorney-General Cartier has decided that the decision of the judge of the Montreal Court was wrong, and has ordered the rearrest of the St. Alban's raiders. The police are making great efforts for their recapture. The judge of the Montreal Court claimed juris diction on the ground that the Governor• General had issued no warrant authorising the arrest of the raiders. The Canadian Cabinet demanded the judge's decision, and it is supposed that he will be dismissed. Stipendiary magistrates have been appointed o❑ the Canadian frontier, to take cognisance of breaches of international law, The chief of the police has refunded the money found upon the raiders taken in St. Albans. Their discharge excited indignation throughout the North. The New York Times says that Canada has been turned into a base of rebel operations, and Cana dian territory must be respected no more than Virginian or South Carolinian territory. This may lead to war, and, if so, let it come. Resolutions have been introduced into Congress, and referred to the Committee for Foreign Affairs, denouncing the conduct of the Canadians, recom mending the organisation of an army corps for the protection of the frontier, and directing the Secre tary of State to demand from the British Govern ment payment for all cargoes and ships destroyed by British piratical vessels. Gen. Canby reports that the expedition sent from Vicksburg and Baton Rouge t..) cut Hood's commu nications with Mobile had been completely suc cessful. General Stoneman has made a raid in Brecken ridge's rear, and captured Bristol, Abingdon, and Glade Springs, Western Virginia. He also burned the bridge over the Holston River, Gn d has moved towards Saltville. The New York Times asserts that the Brazilian demand for reparation for the seizure of the Florida is insolent in tone. Mr Seward's reply is firm and conciliatory, It does not endorse the seizure, and expresses a desire that the matter should be fairly and satisfac• torily adjusted, _ NEW YORK, DEC. (Noon), General Thomas reports that figbting continued all yesterday. He had driven Hood from all his entrenched posi• tions, and captured from 3,000 to 5,000 prisoners and 30 to 40 cannon. Hood's army was routed. Gold, 228, The North German Lloyds steamship Hansa, from New York on the 17th inst. has arrived.

This is precisely what Mr Hotten has done in this new edition of his Slang Dictionary. The volume, as it now stands, is not simply A Supplement, it is emphatically THE Supplement to Johnson's Dictionary. It is, in other words, an accumulation of the very latest and, certainly, all of them most remarkable importations into the language. It marksan epoch in the growth of our mother•tongue. As what we may venture to call supplement even to this supplement, another end kindred compilation is announced, we are rejoiced to observe, by this ingenious and energetic biblio polist, as in active preparation—a work, namely, in which are to be collected together all the idiomatic phrases not capable of being accurately in cluded within the compass of what affects to be at most simply, what it calls itself, that is to say, a Dictionary. Within this later compilation, we may nope to see embalmed in the amber of the results of Mr Hotten's eccentric researches, such whimsical little lingual flies and straws and shreds,now floating idly and wildly about in colloquial dicourse, as— Let us here say (in order that we may give the latest possible illustration of what we are alluding to)- -there in France, here in England—" How's your poor feet ?" and As to vu Lambert? What we have to do with, here, is—not the idiomatic talk, but the Slang of conversation. As Mr Hotten's com prehensive title-page has it—Vulgar Wo, ds, Street Phrases,' Fast' Expressions, whether of High or Low Society—many of them words with their Etymo logy—a few of them, even,with their History Traced. Briefly to express it—What is in common use, much that has long been in common use, and yet words, phrases, expressions, Slang in point of fact never hitherto included in a dictionary. Oddly but significantly—and so far also it may be allo wed, appropriately to put into a rhymed couplet the fact we are now insisting upon as the distinguishing mark, and for that matter, also, it might be said, the distinctive merit of The Dictionary here under no tice— slang words, familiar to each daily talker, Yet words disdained by Johnson, Webster—Walker I Grateful though we are to Mr Hotten for what he has thus already accomplished, if we were to main tain that his book as a Slang Dictionary—as the only Slang Dictionary at all worthy of the name, is complete, we should, in so writing of it, be, writing of it extravagantly. It is an immense ad vance upon its predecessor. It is as much of an advance upon that predecessor, as a young oak tree in full leaf, and pendulous at every bough and at every twig with acorns, is an advance upon the sapling just budding greenly through the turf. Five years ago that sapling first sprouted. It was entitled "The actionary of Modern Slang, Cant and Vulgar Words," and so entitled, it appeared anonymously as a little book issued by A London Antiquary. That work is combined with the present. It comprised within it words—slang, cant, vulgar words—to the number of barely three thousand. Its successor, " The Slang Die tionary,'' here lying before us—the vigorous young oak-tree grown from that acorn—includes within it words of that character, not simply to the num ber of three, but, very nearly, of ten thousand! It needs hardly to be said, when we have said that —that during the last five years Mr Hotten, in the compilation of this one work alone, to say nothing of several other notable books that have, within the same:interval, come directly from his own hands, not merely as publisher but as compiler also and as editor, one or two of them, even as author —it need hardly be added, we would say, that Mr Hotten, daring these last five years, upon this one work alone, has indeed been industrious! The Slang he has here collected together is Slang of all sorts. It is for the most part very much like young Dorrit—" of the streets streety." It is Slang from all classes, and from all professions. Nobs and Snobs, Tars and Felons—otherwise to put it "High, Low, Jack, and the Game !"—have unconsciously been contributors to the work of our ingenious Lexicographer. No matter whence drawn, everything in the shape of Slang has been grist to Hotten's mill : has been therein ground up and worked into samples, and arranged alphabetically. Slang has been regarded, here, ab initio. Mr Hotten begins, in other words, with the bee ginning. At the outset of his introductory chapter, while giving us " A Short History .f Slang," he sets out upon his inquiry, not from one of the crossings in Seven Dials, not from a doorstep in Grub-street, but (absolutely !) from Babylon and Nineveh ! Thence he comes down, from those farsoff cities, to our own, to the one in the midst of which we are now living. From that remote epoch he brings us to now-a-days—scat tering illustrative anecdotes to the right hand and to the left, es he advances from the past to the present, as he descends from the Ancient, until he finds him self in the very heart and thick and tumult of the Modern Babylon. Slang of all kinds we have said, and we would here insist upon it, comes to Mr. Hotten alike acceptably—whether it be Fashionable or Parliamentary, Military or Nautical, Swell- Slang or Street-Slang, University or Religious, Legal or Literary, Artistic or Theatrical, the Slang of workmen, or the Slang of shopkeepers, equivalents for oaths or terms for drunkenness. A mere moment's reflection will be sufficient to re mind any one of the extraordinary choice there is, of all those kinds of Slang. Take one by way of example, the one last mentioned, the Slang expres sions, that is, of the very simple and vulgar fact of Drunkenness ! Fuddled ! Cut 1 Screwed ! Fresh ! Lush; ! Swipe; ! Slewed I Sewed up ! On the Ran Tan ! With the Sun in his Eyes ! Three Sheets in the Wind ! Half Seas Over ! Intostieated in regard to Liquor ! All Mops and Brooms ! and the like—almost one might say—ad infinitam ! Yet it is from this whirling, floating, shifting, varying Atmosphere of Slang thus surrounding us in all directions, Slang that we are living and breathing among without hardly knowing it, Slang that we are constantly drinking in at our ears, and almost as often (even the most fas tidious talker amongst us), unwittingly articu lating in the free-and-easy givesandstake of con versation ! It is from this varying, shifting, incoherent Chaos f Slang, that this laborious and conscientious Supplementer of Johnson, has had to gather in his materials before sifting them and arranging them! How he has already contrived to accomplish what he has here accomplished, and accomplished too so very successfully,. is a perfect marvel to us. That occasionally in his definitions he should be in error—is a thing, surely, to say the least of it, inevitable. Again, that he should have emitted, ueintentionally, words that—if they had but come opportunely to his reoolieetion—he himself would have been the most desirous of in cluding in his Slang Dictionary, is, assuredly, no less of a self-evident proposition than that dictum of the maid servant, according to Sam Weller, when she called the cat's meat man no gentle man ! We will specify for our author's satisfaction (we are quite certai❑ of that)—far more than for the satisfaction of any one else—a few of what we have but just now referred to, as oversights i❑ the way of omitted Slang Words that have been looked for by us in vain in Mr Hotten'e otherwise wonder ful Slang Dictionary. Par exemple —we look in vain here for any mention of "an Old Square- Toes." Not a word is there here, again, in its alphabetical position, about that felon's wade mecum absurdly called upon the locus a non lucendo principle," a L!fe-Preserver." Nothing is there here about that amiable little winter pastime for frozen-out burglare—garotting. As a familiar abreviation of the Prime .Ministere name, Pam is duly recorded. But—while Vie pot name of the Leader on the Government side of the House of Commons is thus specified—no mention at all is made of the still more widely known abbre viation or pet name of the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition, to wit "Dizzy!'' If " Pam"—why not " D zzy ?" Naturally enough, ridiculous street cries such as " Does 3 our mother know you're out ?" or " Has your Aunt sold her mangle ?" or "You don't lodge here, Mr Fergasson !"—what ever those sapient remarks may mean, or howsoever they may have sprung into existence so as to pass current among the million—Naturally enough, we say, ridiculous street cries such as those find no place in Mr Hotten's Slang Dictionary I Being reserved by him, we may presume, for commemoration in his kindred and congenial work—a work designed to be—in continuation of, we had almost put it, at any rate in direct companion ship and association with, The Slang Dic tionary. How comes it, however, that in the pre sent comprehensive compilation of vulgar words and low phrases, and so forth, we find no record of the homely and by this time strictly vernacular ejaeu'ation "Lawk-a-Daisy." The drolleet employ ment of which, Mr Hott€n might, on introducing it in his next edition, indicate by a line culled, as au illustrative quotation, from ono of the very funniest of the comic poems of Tom Hood. Men tioning the nameof which great humorist, we would at once suggest an erratum for p. 202 of "The Slang Dictionary" where, to the illustrative lines apropos to the sea-phrase about " piping his eye," the biblio grapher has, instead of the name of Tom Hood, put "Old Song" at the end of what ought to have run more correctly thus— " And first of all he eyed his pipe, And then he piped his ea e." Still more strange is it to find, as we do, misquoted here at p. 188 of " The Stang Dictionary," the very opening lines of the very finest Slang Song or Cant Ditty that was ever penned—to wit Harrison Awe worth's famous " Romany Chant" from Rook wood (sung afterwards to Rod well's music in the drama , tisea version of the same great romance-writer's Jack Shepherd) " Nix my dolly pals fake away !" Among familiar Slang words, again, there is no mention of a holiday term in very common use that we ought to have found here alphabetically recorded in " The Slang i Dictionary''—meaning the phrase of aan outing!" Reverting to Hood for a moment, as conspicuous among the faetebecoming classic au thorities of Slang, we would fain have had Mr Hot ten illustrate from a sentence towards the close of Hood's wonderfully droll account of the dancing of the Tarantula, the word so emphatically expressive of the squashing out of existence of the madden ing spider, under the pancake-making foot of the dancing mayor, a word that might certainly take its place in this Dictionary, meaning that almost we had said succulent word—" Squelch." Mr Hotten, moreover, has made no mention, at all events in its alphabetical place, of any such Slang word or phrase as—" a regular Poser," as the " rat''' of society, as a dress that is describable as "skimpy,- as (Americanisms, these last, we con jecture) " Slogdologized" or given in its full sesqui pedalian m" Circuntslogdologi:ed." Besides these and a few other words also in their way sufficiently familiar, there is one especially that we would here particularise—namely, "gumptious" a word that if only Mr Rotten had included it in " The Slang Dictionary " he might have authenticated by a me morable passage in Sir Bulwer Lytton's most highly elaborated novel, perhaps the finest of all his novels, the one he has emphatically dubbed "My Novel" — namely, where the Innkeeper draws—not a pot of beer, but—a very notable distinction " Bumptious is bumptious, and gumptious is gumptious ! Now, our Beadle is bumptious; but Mrs Avenel is Bump tious !" We can only attribute it to an oversight on the part of our otherwise most vigilant collector, here, into his bibliographical or etymological wallet of hitherto "unconsidered trifles" that whereas he jets down in his Slang Dictionary " 'Parson's Nose,' the hind part of a goose "—he omits to mention in its turn, as he ought to have done, part passu, what he evidently forgot to mention—the "Pope's Eye," meaning, of course, the central morsel of fat in a leg of mutton! While we find him mention ing, moreover, at p. 128, " Pecksniff" as another term (ever since Martin Chuzzletvit) for " a hypo critical rascal;" and rather oddly, too, at p. 176, 'Marchioness," as (since the (,/d Curiosity .shop) a word synonymous with "Maid-of-all work " we can't conjecture how it possibly comes to pass that on p. 140 he makes no mention whatever, in its alphabetical place, of what we have long since come to designate familiarly "a regular Gamp"—meaning thereby, according to our inteotion at the moment of speaking, a fit old dowdy of a monthly nurse, or a very large, bulgy, loosely tied cotton or gingham umbrella! It is a source of surprise to us, again, that among the list of his authorities upon the subject-matter of his Dictionary, viz„ Slang— we find no record whatever of a name referred to neverttieless, again and again, in the body of the work—namely, that of the great arch-humorist the creator of Pecksniff, of Mrs Gamp, and of that most wonderful myth in all fiction, that most delectable fiction in a fiction, the immortal though wholly non-existent Mrs Harris. Once even in the text of his work we find Mr Hotter', unwittingly according to Mr. Sala (in his " Gaslight and Daylight"), the credit of giving authority for the use of a word that Cnarles Dickens a good many years previously had employed, and had therefore, es the phrase is, rendered classic, by introducing it into oneof his delightful "Sketches by Boz"—to the best of our recollection it is in the account of " Miss Jemima Evans and the Eagle"— the designation, that is, of an " Aggerataator,' meaning any lock of hair twisted into shape upon the forehead, and not simply as here mentioned by Mr. Hotten on the long-after-date authority of Mr Sala, " the greasy leek of hair in vogue among costermongers.'' We have been thus lengthy in the particularity of our exceptions to what• ever blemishes (whether in the way of omission or of commission) have become apparent to us upon a careful scrutiny of the pages of Mr Hotten's other wise admirable, we will even say, of his, all things considered, wonderfully complete and wonderfully exact " Slang Dictionary'' —because the taking exe ceptions here and there to his labours, precisely in this way, we conceive to be about the very best tribute we could possibly offer to him as a con scientious and laborious lexicographer. It is a book—even as it now stands—absolutely unri valled. It forms a notable contribution towards the accumulation of important materials belong ing to the history of our language, we will even go beyond that and say, to the history of our national literature. " The Slang Dictionary," as it has here been compiled, and edited, and published by Mr Hotter), of Piccadilly—industriously compiled, sagaciously edited and elegantly published—is a book entitled to an honourable, and, what is still more, to an accessible place upon the bookshe ves of any and every liberary--as indeed might safely have been predicated of a volume so remarkable that we have hesitated not to designate it as a " Supplement to Johnson's Dictionary." Walker and Webster's English Pronouncing Die tionary. Edited by John LongEnuir, LL.D One Vol. pp. 648. 'Pegg. As a Popular Edition 3f a thoroughly good Eng lish Pronouncing Dictionary, this handsome volume can hold its own against any competitor. The paper upon which it is printed, no doubt, might have bten thicker, but then, in that case, the price of the work must necessarily have been greater. Again--• the type with which the book is printed might have been larger, and therefore more easily read able, but the volume must C; the same time also, by necessity, have become bulkier must have lost, in other words, one of its distinguishing meri!s as an edition, the merit of compactness. For such as it under takes to be, the work is really and truly excellent. It is cheap, portable, legible, comprehensive, and most carefully arranged throughout. It is a coin' bination, in one and the same work, of Walker and Webster. Ia other words, it is A Dictionary nt . the English language, comprising within it the Muitions of Webster and the Pronunciation of Walker. And the two which are thus blended together form, as the title-page itself takes occasion to intimate, have been " brought into c.)n. formity to [with ?] the usages of the present time." A very considerable number of new words will be found, moreover, upon a careful ex' amination of the work, to have been in" troduced or interpolated. Numerous synnnY" mous terms, again, have been in the present edition very carefully discriminated. T he mere Appendix to the work, it should be added, is wonderfully valuable as a repertory of informs" tion, admitting all of it, of ready reference. It in' eludes within it, this curious gathering of an Appen dix, Walker's Key to the Pronunciation of Scripture, Greek, and Latin proper -names', together with a vocabulary of Modern Geographical Name s, a Catalogue of Heathen Gods end Goddesses, explanations of current phrases from various languages and so forthwith—the whole edited under the careful supervision of Dr Longmuir, formerly of the University of Aberdeen. As an English Dictionary of conspicuous merit—of a merit so conspicuous as to entitle it to be regarded es a philological masterpiece—this imprint by Mr Tegg of Dr Longmuir's edition of Walker's Dins tionary and Webster's Dictionary combined, is sure of winning its way—to what is certainly its due by right, namely—a wide and lasting popularity. The Englishman's Magazine. No. I. Rivingtone . Almost the only new venture, just novr' among our monthly periodicals, The Etiglish' men, starts propitiously with the commence' .anent of the clew Ytar. It is remarkable , even at the first glance, for the variety of the con' tributions, compacted together within the com pass of barely one hunched pages—p. 96 marking the close of this initial number of The Englishnzati for January. Art—Science—Religion—Literatur e are the regions penetrated by the Contributors . Among these contributors, most of whom are anonr mous, there are noticeable several writers already ranked among the number of our popular favourites, Professor Ansted, for example, and the author of " The t3rentle Life." The charming essayist last mentioned leads off a series to be entitled " Life's Equipage," with an eminently thoughtful an d suggestive disquisition "On Purpose in Life? Toujours la Vie it is always with her—but we can never have too many of her meditations upon that exhaustless theme, Professor Ansted, in like manner , begins a seriesof papers with his present con t r ibutions „ —aseries to be entitled " On theßieth'a Habitation. There is a social argument upon the Causes and Moral Effects of Strikes. There is a genial, send Bible paper in reference to the premature closing of the adventurous life of Captain Speke. There are also four poetical contributions in the number' rather a novelty, as magazines go nowaday s ' Perhaps the best of these four is the first of them'' the musical stanz is by Christina Rosetti. "The Perplexities of Monsieur Bornand" will be read with profound interest by the seekers after innocent amusement at this season of story telling I As to the paper on " The Position and Prospects of the Church,'' if we merely quote from the closing sentences of it, not one syllable need be added in the way of comment. For, assuredly, never was any argument advanced with more serious or more complaisant deliberation upon the paradoxica l principle ex limo dare lucem. Ex. gr. this same closing sentence Containing within herself the essence of what the Catholic Church deems essential to existence, she must one day command the respect and confidence of the two greet branches of the Eastern and Western Church : while the various Protestant communities, now split into endless sects and parties, will regard the Church of England as a centre of unity." which, there, perhaps, never was a more ludid crous non ,fequtter ! Alleged Manslaughter. Yesterday morning an inquiry was held by Mr Per i " coroner, respecting the death, from alleged violence, of lgr Thomas Campbell, aged 40 years. Mr Thomas Campbell, of 32, Ann-street, Plumstead, 5 00 of the deceased, identified his father's body, but kfle W , nothing of his own knowledge of his death. His father h ad been usually healthy, and was a clerk in the War DePert ment. John Hay, 11,Sweetenham-place, Plumstead, said that be was a foreman in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. On the 6tl November, at half-past 10 o'clock in the evening, he went with Mr Campbell into the Queen's Arms Tavern, tiurridge4 road, Plumstead, to get some refreshments. A few minute s after somebody called Mr Campbell outside, and as he di not return he (witness) followed him in five minutes, an then he saw a large crowd surrounding the deceased and man named John Goden. Goden was a labourer in th e Arsenal. When the witness went out he was saying to Ai r Campbell, " You owe me £3 ss. I can't get the money, a nd therefore I'll take it out of your body." He then struck N I. Campbell in the face and knocked him down. Witness sai d to Goden, " If he owes you £3 there is another course °cell o to you, and if I see a policeman I shall have you locked up' Goden replied, " Mind your own business and don't. inter fere with me." When Mr Campbell rose Goden knoc ke d him him down again. Mr Campbell was so injured that he 133 ' to be carried away on a stretcher by the police. Goden ' O5 apprehended. Mr Campbell never struck a blow. Mr Thos. Green said that he was returning from a par t) ; with his family on the night in question, when he heel °. Goden say to the deceased, " You are an old vagabond , v i i i c i lain, and blackguard ; you owe me £3 ss. Nothing so ul ? give me more satisfaction than to punch it out of you ei your son." He then struck Mr Campbell about the face an knocked him down. Goden then pulled off his coat, and the gentleman was in the act of getting up Goden g ot lai ° on his knees against the publichouso wall and kept punch iug him till he knocked him down again and hurt his 14 ' Mr Campbell did not strike a blow, • die .

Goden then welP o away to pull off his coat, and while he was doing e° 1r said, have the £3 53 out of his bones." After 7d Campbell had been knocked down again and again he "My leg is broken, I can't rise." He offered no resi staae ; to Goden.
